I shouldn't read the internet so soon after waking. It only pisses me off.

Fuck that vegan moral superiority bullshit. There's something delightfully evil about knowing that in order to sustain large crops of grains you end up with a lot of dead field mice. Oh, I am so going to use that line on the next self righteous vegan who tries to make me feel guilty for eating meat.

Thankfully my friends who are vegetarian/vegan/whatever who are not militant about their choices and don't feel the need to run around trying to guilt others into adopting their behaviour. I will kindly eat their share of the world's meat so they won't have to. Everyone wins!

I think the morality argument is a hell of a lot more useful when discussing the unpleasant and cruel conditions used to produce a lot of mass market foods. But saying just eating another creature is a moral issue flies right out the window with me. The entire ecosystem is based around creatures eating other creatures, from the insects and plants up to the cows and tigers.

Not all of the vegetable matter that goes into feeding livestock is suitable for human consumption. Cows have different teeth and different stomachs that allow them to eat a lot of tougher, more fiberous stuff.
